Hiring EngineersI recently had the privilege of performing the technical interviews to evaluate potential new hires into Oracles support organization. As my approach is different from many interview processes I thought I would share it with you. It is basically a three step process.Step 1 – What Do You Know?We ask them technical questions about what they said they have done on their resume. Very common to get responses like, oh I didn't do very much with that. In that...

Solving a Gotcha with VirtualBox Guest Additions I was just building a new virtual machine based off an existing image that didn’t have the Virtual Box Guest Additions enabled. The guest additions allow tight integration between the guest OS and the host environment, providing seemless mouse transfer and the ability to take advantage of full video screen size. The guest additions need to be linked with the kernel which requires the kernel-devel package to be installed. ...

A few weeks ago I was in Orlando on an HA training course for...
